Not only are Christian parents forced to raise their kids in a culture that denies the traditional values of their faith, but also in one that strongly opposes them at every turn. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and his guest, author Dan Seaborn, address this concern by breaking down Dan’s recent book, Winning at Home.

If the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective, how much more potent are the prayers of moms who gather to intercede on behalf of their children? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Fern Nichols and Sally Burke, the founder and president of Moms in Prayer International, continue sharing about their ministry, and urge mothers to walk through the four steps of prayer: praise, silent confession, thanksgiving, and intercession. Matthew 18:20 declares, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
In 1984, Fern Nichols was fearful about sending her two eldest children off to junior high. Realizing that the spiritual warfare would be intense, she asked another mother to pray with her for their kids' protection. That was the humble beginning of Moms in Prayer International, a ministry which now has groups in all 50 states and 140 countries worldwide. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Fern compares the efforts of the four friends in the book of Mark, chapter two, who opened a hole in the roof to get a paralyzed man to Jesus. With the heart behind Moms in Prayer, mothers have a similar desperation and determination to bring their children before Christ in prayer.

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Secretary DeVos discuss the possibilities and future of our education system, along with her new book, Hostages No More: The Fight for Education Freedom and the Future of the American Child.
